Chapter 606 Sakura Haruno is my daughter, so what about Naruto?
The world has become very large, and Naruto Uzumaki has now become Naruto Uchiha.
He didn't experience the Nine-Tailed Night, nor did he live under someone else's roof, and eventually became a wild and unruly child.
His figure could always be seen chasing and playing in the corridors of the palace.
Occasionally, he would knock over the trays carried by the palace maids, startling them so much that they would immediately kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
He stuck out his tongue, turned and ran away, and even after he was far away, he would turn back and make a face.
In a corner of the training ground, he always liked to secretly tinker with ninja tools, occasionally causing some minor trouble and scattering the tools all over the ground.
Every corner of the palace bears traces of his mischief, as well as the echoes of his hearty and pure laughter.
Sasuke Uchiha saw this and so "teaching a lesson" to his unruly younger brother became the most frequent thing in his daily life.
He always thought that if he disciplined Naruto more, Naruto would grow up faster and understand his responsibilities.
It was another sunny afternoon, and the wind rustled the leaves on the treetops.
While Sasuke was busy organizing his ninja tools, Naruto secretly slipped the short sword into his pocket and turned to run away.
But he had only taken two steps when his wrist was grabbed by a cold and powerful hand.
Immediately afterwards, a force struck him, and he fell to the ground, a slight pain shooting through his back.
The short knife in his arms fell to the ground with a clatter.
Uchiha Sasuke pressed down on the back of his neck with one hand, rendering his unruly younger brother unable to move.
He looked at Naruto struggling on the ground, his brows furrowing slightly: "Naruto, how many times have I told you not to touch my things, but you just won't listen."
Naruto's red hair was plastered messily to his forehead, which was also covered with bits of grass. His bright eyes were full of defiance.
"Why can you have so many ninja tools, but I can't? Sasuke, you're such a cheapskate!"
He shouted and struggled, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from Sasuke's grasp.
"Naruto, if you keep being stubborn, you'll have to train ten times harder."
Sasuke watched as Naruto's face was contorted in a frown, his eyes remaining unwavering, his expression still aloof and cold.
Naruto's eyes reddened from being bullied, and he looked resentful.
He struggled a few times and finally broke free from Sasuke's restraints, getting up from the ground.
His first reaction was not to continue arguing or to retaliate, but to turn around and run, rushing quickly towards Karin's residence.
"Karin-neechan, Sasuke bullied me again! Please help me get revenge!"
（注：三人的生日......香燐：6月20日......佐助：7月23日......鸣人：10月10日）
Karin's mother was Uzumaki Megumi, who, like Kushina, was a concubine of the Uchiha Three Peaks. She had the same dazzling red hair, so the two were as close as sisters.
"Karin-neechan! Sasuke is bullying me!"
Naruto ran wildly, shouting as he went, and then rushed into Karin's yard.
"Karin-neechan, Sasuke pinned me to the ground and said he'd make me train ten times harder! He's gone too far! You have to help me teach him a lesson!"
Upon hearing Naruto's cries, Karin instantly stopped what she was doing, and the tenderness in her eyes vanished.
She looked down at Naruto, who looked so wronged in her arms, and felt a pang of heartache.
"That Sasuke brat, bullied you again?"
"Don't be afraid, I'll stand up for you. Watch me beat him to a pulp and make him never dare to bully you again!"
She helped Naruto up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and her anger burned even brighter...
After saying that, Karin stood up, grabbed Naruto's hand, and stormed off toward the training ground.
At this moment, Sasuke was bending down to tidy up the scattered ninja tools, putting the short sword that Naruto had secretly taken back into his ninja tool bag.
This dagger was a birthday gift from her father, and it held great significance for him.
He only slowly straightened up when he heard a familiar angry shout behind him.
Karin's eyes were filled with anger, and she looked fierce.
Sasuke looked at her like this and thought to himself that he was in trouble. It seemed that he was going to be scolded by Karin again.
Karin's reprimanding voice echoed across the empty training ground: "Sasuke, Naruto is your younger brother. As his older brother, don't you know how to be more considerate of him? Instead, you bully him every day. He's immature, can't you be more tolerant of him?"
Sasuke frowned, a hint of helplessness on his face.
"I didn't bully him. He tried to steal my ninja tools, which were a gift from my father. I've warned him many times, but he just won't listen."
Karin pulled Naruto close, shielding him beside her: "That's not how you discipline someone! Look at Naruto, you've made him cry. Couldn't you have been a little gentler?"
Before she could finish speaking, she rushed over without waiting for Sasuke to refute her.
Caught off guard, Sasuke was forced to retreat repeatedly.
He didn't expect Karin to actually make a move, and he certainly didn't expect her to act so quickly.
He knew in his heart that Karin was protective of her brother, so she didn't really fight back, but just kept blocking.
Naruto stood aside, watching Karin "teach" Sasuke a lesson, causing him to retreat repeatedly, and the grievance on his face vanished.
He grinned widely and clapped his hands from time to time.
"Go, Karin! Beat him up! Let him bully me again! Let him know how powerful you are!"
He shouted and jumped around, looking smug, as if he wasn't the one who had just been bullied.
Sasuke was being suppressed by Karin, and a hint of embarrassment gradually appeared on his face, but he never really fought back.
......
Time flies, years pass quickly, and a few years have gone by in the blink of an eye.
The cherry blossoms in the courtyard bloomed and faded, bloomed and faded again, and the children gradually grew up, shedding their childhood innocence and growing into tall and handsome young men and women.
Naruto has shed some of his childhood mischief and gained more of the naivety and responsibility of a young man. He no longer causes trouble like before and has become much more composed.
Someone quietly took up residence in his heart... Sakura Haruno.
That girl with delicate features and a resilient personality.
When she smiles, her eyes crinkle and a faint blush rises to her cheeks.
Naruto liked to see her smile, liked to practice ninjutsu with her, and liked to secretly give her flowers.
Sakura Haruno's gaze, however, remained fixed on the aloof Sasuke.
She liked his aloofness, his focus when practicing ninjutsu, his stubbornness, and the unique sense of detachment he possessed.
One day, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, and a cool breeze made the palace flags flutter.
A guard rushed into the main hall and bowed to the Uchiha Mitsunori, who was sitting on the throne, to report.
"Your Majesty, there is a woman named Haruno Mebuki outside the palace gates who insists on meeting you in person, saying that this matter concerns the royal bloodline."
Uchiha Mitsunori paused slightly, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest of the throne, his brows furrowing slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.
He vaguely recognized the name Haruno Mebuki; it seemed to be Haruno Sakura's mother.
Why did you suddenly come to the palace today, and why do you want to talk about something important concerning the royal bloodline?
A sense of unease crept into his heart; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Let her in."
Soon, Haruno Mebuki was brought in by the guards.
She was dressed in a fashionable dress, her golden hair neatly combed, but she still couldn't hide the nervousness and unease between her brows.
"This humble woman, Haruno Mebuki, greets Your Majesty."
Haruno Meifuku bowed slightly, her body bent, and her movements were somewhat stiff.
Uchiha Mitsunaga stared intently at her and said softly, "Get up. What exactly happened regarding the royal bloodline?"
Haruno Mei took a deep breath, as if she had made a huge decision, and slowly raised her head.
"Lord Mimine, Lord Naruto is pursuing my daughter, Sakura Haruno, while my daughter seems to be in love with Lord Sasuke."
Uchiha Mitsunori picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and smiled faintly: "So that's what it is. The country advocates freedom of love. Let the children decide their own feelings. We, as elders, don't need to interfere too much. As long as they are happy, that's all that matters."
He thought Haruno Meifuki had come to ask him to grant the children's wish, and he felt a little gratified.
"But Lord Mitsumine, Sakura Haruno is also your daughter!"
Haruno Mei's words were like a thunderclap, instantly exploding in the empty hall.
Uchiha Mitsumine choked violently, spitting out the tea in his mouth and splashing it onto the desk in front of him.
"What did you say? Haruno Sakura is my daughter? How come I have no idea such a thing exists... Explain yourself clearly?"
Haruno Mebuki's eyes were filled with guilt and unease as she slowly recounted the past that had been buried for more than a decade.
"Fifteen years ago, I greatly admired you, so I volunteered to become one of your bodyguards."
"One day... I saw that you, sir, could not sleep all night, so I mustered up my courage... and offered myself as your bedmate... to spend the night with you, sir."
"Later, I found out I was pregnant. I was both happy and scared, so I resigned from my position as a bodyguard and left the palace... In order to find a father for Sakura, I married Haruno Chizuru and have lived a peaceful life ever since."
Uchiha Mitsunaga remained silent for a moment, as memories of what happened back then surfaced in his mind.
He never imagined that a one-night stand from years ago would result in a child...
Immediately, he waved his hand, and a lithe bodyguard dressed in black appeared and knelt on one knee.
"Investigate Sakura Haruno's background immediately, and her blood relationship with me."
"Yes!" the guard replied, and in a flash, he disappeared outside the hall.
Less than seven minutes later, the guards hurriedly returned.
He held three neatly folded reports in both hands and respectfully handed them to him.
"Your Majesty, the investigation is complete. This is the investigation report. After detailed verification, Miss Haruno Sakura is indeed your daughter."
Uchiha Mitsunori reached out and took the report, his fingers trembling slightly.
One document details Haruno Mebuki's past, recording her experiences as a royal guard and her life after leaving the palace.
One of them is about Sakura Haruno, which records her birth, growth, personality and preferences, and even her life over the years.
The last document was a bloodline assessment report, which clearly stated that Sakura Haruno had a 99.9% chance of being a descendant of the Uchiha Mitsunaga clan, and included a detailed verification process.
